FETES DE LA CHARTREUSE

Every year in May, Voiron and the surrounding area come alive with festivities around the Chartreuse in all its forms.
If you're wondering why the Chartreuse celebrations take place around May 16th every year, it's because May 16th represents the year 1605, when Marshal François Hannibal d'Estrées handed the Carthusian Fathers at the Chartreuse de Vauvert in Paris a mysterious manuscript containing the formula for an elixir of long life... The rest is history. Every year, festivities are held in the towns that have hosted a Chartreuse distillery: Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, Saint-Laurent-du-Pont, Entre-Deux-Guiers and Voiron, with always a nod to Marseille, Paris and Tarragona.
